There will be more concentration on environmental issues after Falmouth voted in Labour majority town council - bucking the national trend. The political balance now stands at ten Labour, two Conservatives, two Independent, one Lib Dem and one Green. Dean Evans is the first Green party candidate to have ever been elected to the town council. The new Labour town councillors are: Arwenack: Emily Seiler and Zoe Young; Boslowick: Debra Clegg; Penwerris: Gerald Chin-Quee (although Gerald is a veteran of the council), Kirstie Edwards, Jayne Kirkham, who was also re-elected to the county council, and Alan Rowe.
